Was the person I was gonna say, such a talented player but so unlucky with injuries. Also one from my own team was Stephen Holgate who moved to Wigan. Never quite hit the heights but was a superb player.

Mick Nanyn - I enjoy watching Nanyn in the lower leagues but he has never cut the mustard at SL level. Stong, good goal kicker he could have achieved more.

He had a hell of a boot on him. I remember a televised Challenge Cup match against Warrington, when he took a drop out under the posts. It landed closer to the opposition's tryline than some of the kickoffs in that match!

The difference is quite droll:
The optimist sees the doughnut,
The pessimist sees the hole.

Ronnie Duane(spelling) Warrington mid 80s. He was a big fella for a centre at that time and he earned his rhino nickname for good reason.

Neil Puckering Hull mid 80s. He was a suprise inclusion in the front row for Hull at Wembley at something like 19 yrs old, back in the day when teenagers rarely made 1st teams. He played very well and looked set for a big future but he just disappeard.

Lee Briers - and I mean that with no disrespect and the plaudits he is earning now should have been his for the last decade or more, I always thought he'd be the one to step up, especially after his game for Wales v Australia and give us that something special on the international stage.

Didn't Crompton play for Warrington and Wigan? IIRC it was his injuries that was the issue.

Warrington weren't a major force at the time. Wigan was just for one season (IIRC) - I don't know why he left. I remember him best as Oldham's 'super-sub', when he used to change games, coming off the bench.
